the stories lined up. >> greta, i would add one more thing. the quote -- there's an unusual consistency between barack obama's public image and the private reality. i think that's actually true. and i think one of the things that the book demonstrates is that -- i mean, in some cases there's a wide divergence between public image and private reality that the story of john edwards and elizabeth edwards is the most dramatic example in the book where the gap between what the public saw and what they wanted the public to see and how they actually were in private was -- is yawning. it's a gap. obama, his public reality and the private reality was the narrowest. it's part of the reason he turned out to be a strong candidate and the reason why he won. they spent very little time in the obama campaign having to manage the problem of here's what we're trying to tell the public but here's what's really going on. for all these other campaigns there was enormous amounts of time and effort that was devoted by the staff to try to kind of bridge that gap. an

but, greta, you can only go so far. if a candidate is pushed into being a certain way, obama-like, for example, or reagan-like, you can see that. if it does not work, the candidate is very, very uncomfortable. one of the reasons mr. clegg it did so well in the first debate was that he was very comfortable in his own skin to things that people said about barack obama even way back, that he seemed comfortable in his own skin. sometimes you could see the advisers handiwork. the second time you did not see it as much. maybe it was internalized by that time and they were able to be their own demand. people can see through that. host: what about gordon brown's performance and his comfort in that? guest: he is the older of the two, he is solid, he knows the policy issues. he is a little bit uncomfortable, for obvious reasons. there was a bit of the knicks in a radio factory those who would hear gordon brown -- there was a bit of the nixon radio effect. those who would hear gordon brown might think better of him . he also chose

guest: greta, i wish i could say we were on our way to a vigorous recovery. we certainly are on our way to recovery. the business cycle follows isleton's law, but in reverse. everything that goes down eventually -- follows isaac newton's law, but in reverse. everything that it goes down and eventually comes up. the stock market is recovering in part because corporate earnings are up, and corporate earnings are up largely because companies have sliced their payrolls. they have cut their cost and, again, their payrolls, their employees, are their biggest cost. many companies are going abroad for sales. they're also going abroad for workers. so, what is good for america's big companies in terms of their property -- profitability and american stock market may not be necessarily good for american workers. we are seeing in this recovery a little bit of a two-tiered recovery, that is, big companies and wall street are doing very well. their workers and employees are doing ok. small businesses are doing badly. people on main street still are without jobs and is going
